UNREST IN GREECE
EIGHTEEN RETIRED OFFICERS ARRESTED. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. ATHENS, April 12. (Received April 13, at midnight.) Owing to indications of reactionary trouble brewing, the Government has ordered the arrest of 18 superior military and naval retired officers, including General Leonardopo Alos, the leader of the last counter-revolution, who was sentenced to death and recently pardoned, and General Constandinopulos, a fanatical Royalist. The Minister of the Interior announces that considerable quantities of revolvers and cartridges have been confiscated. The leaders of the projected movement obviously intended an outbreak after the plebiscite. General Metaxas met the Premier (M. Papanastadiou) last evening and protested against the arrests. Tre Premier replied that the Government was determined to crush any attempt ah disorders.—A. and N.Z. Gable.
